Serpent Viper 977-e 1/8th scale electric car

Serpent introduce the Viper 977-e 1/8th scale electric on-road kit. The car is based off the nitro-powered and World Championship winning 977 and features a 5mm carbon fibre main chassis with 2.5mm upper deck, an efficient 2-belt drivetrain with large belt pulleys and a centred 7075-T6 aluminium motor mount that allows for easy motor swaps.
